The Update 2017, Volume 2

The Update is a periodic newsletter published by the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati and Columbus (EFGCC). The EFGCC was founded in 1953 to assist people with epilepsy, and their families, in meeting their multiple health and social needs. We provide direct services to optimize each person’s understanding of epilepsy and to improve their methods of coping with epilepsy in all facets of their lives.

Former Delta Pilot: In It For The Long Run

Cincinnati resident and former Delta Air Lines pilot Scott Badzik started training in early July for the New York City Marathon, the largest race in the world with more than 45,000 runners. Scott is running as part of a program called Athletes vs. Epilepsy, a nationwide program for athletes, coaches, and fans to raise awareness and to underscore this important message: That people living with epilepsy must dare to live their lives to their fullest potential.

Scott's story is inspirational and a commitment to helping young kids understand that they can still lead a full life, despite having epilepsy.

Not Another Moment Lost To Seizures

Since 1953, the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati and Columbus has played an important role in the lives of thousands of individuals with seizures by offering unique programs to counter the often devastating effects of epilepsy.
